Charlie Sheen abruptly ended the first stop of his tour when audience members started shouting "You suck!"

Sheen ended the first show in Detroit after less than an hour on stage when the audience made it clear they weren't entertained.

When Sheen finally took the stage after several bad attempts to warm up the crowd with clips of his father's films, he seemed to be referring to a script. He showed an old film he wrote and directed starring Johnny Depp, and, when that didn't stick, asked the audience what they wanted to hear.

But then the crowd got very ugly and loud boos and shouts of "You suck!" caused Sheen to retort, "Already got your f---ing money, dude."

We're told Charlie called on Simon Rex for some help sending him on stage to rap -- and when that didn't work they played the new track, "Winning" ... which Snoop Dogg recorded for Charlie.

We're told that got the crowd excited but when neither Snoop nor Charlie came out on stage they started booing again. (Snoop was in Los Angeles at the Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards...Smart guy!)

At that point most of the crowd started walking out -- and the house lights were turned on.

We're told Charlie did come back on stage briefly and invited the people who stayed to move up closer to the stage ... but then he started complaining about his audio and then walked off the stage.

Looks like bad behavior does not sit well with Lady Gaga. Adam Lambert found that out the hard way when he was kicked out of her birthday party for being drunk and unruly.

Close friends of Gaga threw her a surprise birthday party to celebrate her 25th birthday at a Mexican restaurant called La Cita Bar in Los Angeles, even though Lambert was not one of the invitees, he attended as a guest of the music group the Scissor Sisters.

It was said Lambert began some intense fist-pumping and kept beating on the walls until he actually punched a hole in the bar's low ceiling. "Adam acted like an animal. He kept jumping up on the tables and chairs and screaming. When they brought the cake out he tried to smear it in Gaga's face and put a doll from the cake in her mouth!"

Eventually, Gaga had enough, and she had her security throw Lambert out of the party.

Oscar winner Penelope Cruz unveiled her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame star Friday, flanked by leading men Javier Bardem and Johnny Depp.

The event is timed ahead of next month's release of "Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides," in which she stars with Depp.
The Spanish star says that when she came to the United States in 1994, she only knew how to say "How are you?" and "I want to work with Johnny Depp" in English.

She jokes that now, she knows how to say "I want to work with Johnny Depp again."

The 36-year-old actress co-starred with husband Bardem in her Oscar-winning role in "Vicky Christina Barcelona." They welcomed their son in January.

The mother of one of the atomic "samurai" working to bring Japan's stricken nuclear plant under control has said her son and his colleagues expect to die as a result of their efforts.

Meanwhile, there are reports that additional workers are being offered big money to dash into the radiation-drenched heart of the Fukushima Daiichi plant, perform a job, then withdraw.

In a phone interview with Fox News, the tearful mother of a 32-year-old worker said: "My son and his colleagues have discussed it at length and they have committed themselves to die if necessary to save the nation."

"He told me they have accepted they will all probably die from radiation sickness in the short term or cancer in the long term," the woman added.

"They know it is impossible for them not to have been exposed to lethal doses of radiation."
The woman did not give her name, because she said the workers had been asked by management not to speak publicly about their ordeal, in order to minimize panic.

There are also indications that the workers aren't being provided with some crucial safety equipment. Japan's interior minister said that not all of the workers were given lead sheeting to protect themselves from the floor--which may be contaminated by radiation--while sleeping.

"My son has been sleeping on a desk because he is afraid to lie on the floor. But they say high radioactivity is everywhere and I think this will not save him," said the mother.

In another bleak sign, there are reports of additional workers being offered up to $5,000 a day to act as "jumpers"--so called because they "jump" into highly radioactive areas to quickly perform a task before fleeing with minimal exposure. But even at those rates, many candidates are turning the work down, Reuters reports.

"My company offered me 200,000 yen ($2,500) per day," one subcontractor in his 30s told a reporter."Ordinarily I'd consider that a dream job, but my wife was in tears and stopped me, so I declined."

And Ryuta Fujita, 27, told the Tokyo Shimbun newspaper he was offered $5,000 to go into Reactor 2, but likewise declined.

"I hear that guys older than 50 are being hired at high pay," Fujita said. "But I'm still young, and radiation scares me. I don't want to work in a nuclear plant again."

Last week two workers in Reactor 3 were taken to hospital after their feet were exposed to 170-180 millisieverts of radiation. The average dose for a worker at a nuclear plant is 50 millisieverts over 5 years.

Because so few workers want to venture into the plant, it's proving hard for TEPCO, that company that runs it, to assess whether efforts to cool the fuel rods are working, or even to fully diagnose the problems.

Robots are usually used for this type of work, but Fukushima's interior is so filled with debris that it's difficult for robots to operate there.

Who ya gonna call? The answer is "all of your friends," because the Ghostbusters are back in action OMG, It's about time.

In an exclusive interview with franchise director Ivan Reitman, sources say that Bill Murray has finally agreed to reprise the character of Dr. Peter Venkman and team up with Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson and Harold Ramis for not just one, but two 'Ghostbusters' adventures. They are set to be filmed concurrently and released back-to-back for Christmas 2012 and Christmas 2013.

The development of 'Ghostbusters 3' has been brewing for years, but news about the project really started to heat up in the past 12 months. For quite some time, the delay in getting the movie made has been Murray, who was vocal in his displeasure with the previous draft of the screenplay written by Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg. But back in the fall, Dan Aykroyd told Vanity Fair that he had taken over scripting, and then last month, while promoting 'No Strings Attached,' Reitman revealed that Murray had seen the newest draft, and going forward with a new 'Ghostbusters' installment would come down to his approval.

Charlie Sheen called in music biz heavy hitters -- Snoop Dogg and ex-Korn member Rob Patterson , and Simon Rex -- to record a song for his tour, No this is not an April Fools Joke, though we wish it was.

The foursome got together at Charlie's Beverly Hills pad on Thursday night -- where they recorded "Winning."

Britney Spears has reached out to Nicki Minaj as her opening act for her upcoming concert tour ... and lawyers for the two are in "serious talks." We're told it's looking very good that Nicki and Britney will reach an agreement in the next day or so.

Nicki would take the place of Enrique Iglesias -- who bailed at the last minute because his ego could not take opening for Britney.

Nicki is currently on tour with Lil Wayne -- those concerts end on April 28. Britney's tour begins June 17 in Sacramento.

Go Daddy CEO Bob Parsons has released a video of himself killing an African elephant, drawing outrage from animal rights groups. We will not show the picture because It's horrible.

The video begins with foreboding music, first showing the damage that the elephant has inflicted on the crops of an African village and then following Parsons and his team as they stalk the elephant. According to captions in the video, Parson believes he will "save" the village by killing the elephant.

We see a photo of Parsons standing over the elephant's body, and then AC/DC's "Hells Bells" plays as "hungry villagers butcher the elephant."

In a surprising touch, most of the male villagers are wearing bright orange hats with the GoDaddy logo, and the camera zooms in on the logos as the men descend on the animal's carcass.

"Even though the elephant was huge, there is not enough meat for everyone," reads the text.

Parsons, a former U.S. Marine and Vietnam vet, is the CEO, founder and sole investor of GoDaddy. The video was shot on March 8, 2011, while Parsons was vacationing in Zimbabwe. Parsons posted the clip on his personal blog.

The controversial video, described by the Village Voice as "a strange mix of machismo and colonialist vibes" and "pretty gross" by Business Insider, has drawn condemnation from PETA and other animal rights groups as well as rival web domain registration companies.

Domain.com released a statement saying that "it's not necessary to kill elephants to feed those in need" and offering to donate a portion of profits for new domain registrations to the charity Heifer International, while Name.com is offering to give a percentage of their profits to savetheelephants.org.

GoDaddy has previously courted controversy with its racy TV commercials featuring scantily clad women. Parsons has called the ads "fun, edgy, and a bit inappropriate." I don't know, we might have to change domain host, we cant support this.

When "American Idol" rocker James Durbin mentioned Pepsi--the arch nemesis of longtime "Idol" advertiser Coca-Cola, and sponsor of rival program "The X Factor"--on "Idol's" live broadcast Wednesday night, he was probably most concerned that he'd inadvertently started a cola war (as sponsor-wary host Ryan Seacrest swooped in quickly to plug "Idol's" preferred soda of choice). But it turns out James may have offended more than just advertising executives or diehard Coke-drinkers.

During his quite literally blazing cover of Elton John's "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting" Wednesday, an onstage piano was lit on fire, and when Ryan questioned James about the potentially dangerous pyro, James quipped: "I have a lot of hairspray in my hair to keep it from jumping around so much--so the one thing I was worried about was having a 'Pepsi moment'!"

James was, of course, referring to an infamous 1984 incident, during which the late Michael Jackson's hair was set on fire by faulty pyrotechnics on the set of a Pepsi commerical. It was obviously James's attempt, failed or otherwise, at a joke--and it was a little amusing to see Ryan squirm like that. But according to TMZ, the Jackson family didn't find the remark very funny, and now James is under fire, so to speak.

"We were shocked to see this. It's nothing to make light of and everybody should be focusing on who was responsible for Michael's death," a Jackson family rep told TMZ. The source added that Michael's father, Joe Jackson, was particularly peeved that no one at Fox deemed it necessary to edit James's comment out of "Idol's" tape-delayed broadcasts in later time zones.

The young singer took to his Twitter page today to address the controversy, insisting that he never meant to make fun of the late King Of Pop (any more than he likely meant to give Pepsi free advertising). "For anyone talkin..I said pepsi NOT MJ! I have no disrespect for Michael. I grew up singing his art," James tweeted. "I guess youll take it how you want it...Talkin about MJs passing is too soon. Making a reference to an incident 25 years ago..not too soon. The stab was at pepsi people." Look James No matter what you call a pig and how much you try to sugarcaot its its still a sugar coated "Pig" the routine was in bad taste, say your sorry own up to it and have a Coke and a Smile. Doesn' any one at Idol pre approve these performances anyway?

The prosecutor in the Lindsay Lohan case says the fact that the alleged victim/jeweler may be selling views of the surveillance video online will have no bearing on the criminal trial.

Danette Meyers says it doesn't matter that Kamofie & Company selling views of the video for $2.99 a pop. Meyers says, "The issue is whether Lindsay stole the necklace, period."Meyers believes the defense will try and take advantage of the online sale, but she says, "That will just add around 30 minutes to cross examination. That's it."

Meyers Tells TMZ she doesn't think the jewelers' credibility will be harmed by the $2.99 deal. Lindsay has said the necklace was a loan and she didn't steal it. Meyers says it gets back to the issue, If she didn't steal it, "Why then did Lindsay return the necklace to the police?"

And sources say the owners of Kamofie & Company "got a raw deal" and haven't seen a penny of profits from the sale of the video, at least not yet. The sources say the owners were taken advantage of, and the contracts they made for the sale of the tape are now being reviewed by lawyers.

Keith Scott Brown the father of classical piano group “The 5 Browns” was just sentenced to 10 years to life in prison for sexually abusing his three daughters back when they were children. He was charged with one count of first-degree sodomy upon a child and two counts of second-degree felony sexual abuse of a child back in February and pled guilty. Brown faced a possible sentence of 25 years to life on the three counts -- but under the plea agreement, Brown must serve at least 10 years of his sentence.

Charlie Sheen may have received his money for selling out his tour, but the ticket brokers that snapped up seats to re-sell are not doing to well.

Sheen's relatively quiet week in the press has left him out of the public spotlight and companies like StubHub scrambling to unload open seats. As of Monday, there were 2800 seats available for his New York shows.

A broker told the newspaper, "I'm worried. I need him to do something else stupid so I can unload all these tickets. We bought them on a whim, and I guarantee we're going to take a loss." He purchased 85 tickets to Sheen's shows - and has sold less than 10. "If he isn't filled up with drugs, he won't be funny. People who buy tickets now, they're going to see a car crash."

An amateur broker purchased over $1500 in tickets to shows in big cities like Boston and Chicago has so far sold one ticket - for under face value. "Basically, if I opened the newspaper tomorrow and saw that he was dead, my first reaction wouldn't be 'Darn, I really liked his movies.' It would be 'Sweet! I get my money back from Ticketmaster.'"

Despite his recent violent outburst on Good Morning America, racy photos that hit the 'net and the "Oh maybe I shouldn't of said that" moment, Chris Brown has rose above the negativity surrounding him lately and scored a number one debut with his new album, "F.A.M.E."

Brown performed on Tuesday night's episode of Dancing With The Stars; and prior to the show, host Tom Bergeron made it clear to producers that he didn't want to interview Brown. The host said that he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't bring up Brown's 2009 Rihanna beatdown while interviewing him, (Why would he feel it important that he'd have to.) after what happened after Good Morning America host Robin Roberts questioned him about the events (with questions he approved beforehand, no less). After his appearance on GMA, Brown reportedly flipped out, broke a window in his dressing room, removed his shirt and then walked down the streets of Manhattan in a huff. But regarding the new album - it's Brown's first number-one ever, selling over 270,000 copies.

Note to Britney Spears, whose new album "Femme Fatale" dropped on Tuesday: if anyone asks you about that head-shaving nervous breakdown - break a window. You'll top the charts.

Tito Ortiz says the rumors that he and Jenna Jameson have separated are untrue even the story that Jenna allegedly threw his expensive watches in the ocean. Tito says he and Jenna are still together, although he did mention a "big argument" recently. As for why Jenna wasn't wearing her wedding ring yesterday, Tito says it doesn't matter they are still together.

It was also asked did Jenna allegedly throw some of his expensive watches in the ocean after a New Year's Eve fight and he had to hire a scuba diver to retrieve the items. Tito says the real story is that his kids like throwing things in the harbor which they did with his expensive glasses and that's what the scuba guy was looking for.

The PCD creator held auditions for an all-new version of the sexy recording group Pussy Cat Dolls yesterday in L.A. and tons of hot women showed up to try out! "When I'm creating the next group, it's really finding that sexiness," Antin says. "It's about the whole package. Obviously I'll look for a triple threat. I want girls who are incredibly talented, incredible singers, incredible dancers. Beautiful girls on the inside and out." Robin adds, "You gotta be able to love it. I need commitment. It's like boot camp." The search for the new group will be part of a reality show Antin is developing with Kim Kardashian as a producer.

The 'Glee' star was on her way home from work when her car was hit on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. "A couple of drunk girls hit her, got out of the car, giggled that she was famous, said something like 'are you drunk, too?' Then they drove off," said a source close to the actress.

"Lea was hit and notified the police," says the 24-year-old's rep. "She was not injured and is fine."

This isn't the first accident Lea Michele has suffered. The actress was involved in an earlier incident prior to auditioning for her role on 'Glee.'

"For my second audition I got into a massive car wreck, left my crashed car in the street and ran into the audition with cuts and glass in my hair," she said. "And then on the final audition, I had the worst neck ache from the car accident." I am glad your OK Lea, and since this happen on "Friday" doesn't Lea look allot like Internet sensation Rebecca Black....Hmmmm?

Enrique Iglesias dropped out of the upcoming Britney Spears concert tour because his ego couldn't handle being her opening act. Lawyers and agents for Britney and Enrique were working out an agreement for weeks, and the terms were "finessed" to make Enrique appear to be a co-headliner. We're told both sides agreed to the deal and that's why the announcement was made on Tuesday.

But just hours before Britney's camp went public, Enrique was on the phone with various people connected with the tour in lengthy conversations in which he made it clear -- he was, in reality, Britney's opening act and he wanted out. One source says the deal was actually very favorable to Enrique according to TMZ ... "great terms and great placement." But we're told it all came down to taking the stage before Brit -- too much to handle. So money can't buy you "everything" especially humility. Come on E.I. I mean its not like your a bigger start than Britney or does your ego blind you from that reality also...

The Riverside County District Attorney has decided not to file criminal charges against Lindsay Lohan in connection with the altercation last December between Lindsay and a Betty Ford staffer. The D.A. believes there is "insufficient evidence" to prosecute Lindsay.

Lohan was under investigation for battery after a scuffle with Dawn Holland, while there for treatment. The case involved an alleged altercation that happened after Lohan and her roommates left the clinic and came back from a bar at 1:03 A.M. on Dec. 12. The altercation is categorized as a "hand to hand battery."

The District Attorney claims the investigation was like any other and was not given special treatment. "It wasn't looked at any differently than other cases, and we didn't put any special priority on this," Hall said. "We also had to re-interview subsequent times several witnesses in the case."

Donald Trump responded to the flack created by his comments on "The View" about President Obama's citizenship--and called Whoopi Goldberg's accusation that his "doubts" about Obama had something to do with race "insulting."

Trump appeared on the ABC show last week and set Goldberg off by saying that there was "something on [Obama's] birth certificate that he doesn't like."

Goldberg called this "the biggest pile of dog mess I've heard in ages" and asked, "it's not 'cause he's black, is it? ...Because I've never heard any white President asked to be shown the birth certificate."

On Monday's "Fox and Friends," Trump struck back. when asked if his comments had anything to do with race, he said, "absolutely not. I like Whoopi. I've always had a good relationship with Whoopi...but frankly, I mean, I think that's insulting that she brings up--what does that have to do with race?"
Trump said that people "asked John McCain for his birth certificate. They've asked others for their birth certificate. They asked Bush for his birth certificate, by the way...and they would ask me for my birth certificate."

"Jackass" star Steve-O was arrested in Canada yesterday for assault with a weapon -- but the alleged incident that led to the arrest happened 8 YEARS AGO.

Law enforcement sources confirm ... Steve-O was stopped by customs when he got off an airplane at Calgary International Airport, when officials noticed there was an outstanding warrant out for his arrest.
The warrant was issued back in 2003 -- for an incident in which Steve-O allegedly attacked somebody with an unknown object. So far, the identity of the victim is not yet public.

Steve-O was placed behind bars for a short while -- before going in front of a judge. He was soon released on $10,000 bail which the actor had to pay IN CASH (It pays to be a Jackass I guess). Steve-O is due back in court in May.

Emily Browning who was once the 'Bella Swan' hopeful of the Twilight Saga talks exhaustion and schedules in a new interview and what it was like to be suggested for the role by author Stephenie Meyer. Browning says that, “It’s really strange,” the actress laughed. “It’s bizarre…What actually happened is that I was asked to audition not take the part, but to just audition shortly after ‘The Uninvited’ had finished filming,” the actress said. “And I’m not the type of person who can just work back-to-back. So I was just exhausted, and I was like, ‘I’m sorry, but I just can’t sign on to a trilogy right now.

Comedian and actor Russell Brand gushes about his wife in the new issue of Details magazine, but says admits that marriage is 'mundane'. He tells the mag that being married to his wife, pop singer Katy Perry, is "at once the mode mundane and spectacular thing in the world."

"There are a lot of areas where I've simply relinquished decision-making. It really does make my mates laugh, though."The "Hop" star also opens up about coping with his addiction. “The only way to cope is with a program. If you stop doing recovery, even eating too much chocolate, something will flare up, and I know where that leads, because I’ve been there before. To me, gravity is heroin, and then death.”More quotes from his interview below.

On his tabloid-fueled rocker-sex-god persona:“Well, it seems obvious that to turn myself into a character—incredibly theatrical and rock-and-roll and languid and sexualized—was to emphasize areas where I was confident, to draw the eye from the obvious deficit of a man only just getting over being a junkie. I’ve very confident in the physical manifestation of a rocker. And there are aphorisms I still deem tight: the carnal self is the true self. In that barbaric, marauding period of promiscuity, there was a type of Aleister Crowley ‘Do what thou wilt’ as the sum of the law. That voice you use when you come? I was using it to perform. Not some distant, attic-dwelling emotion brought out occasionally, like a front room you never use except when the vicar visits. I was in there fucking all the time.”

On being cast in Forgetting Sarah Marshall:Aldous Snow was initially written as a proper English chap, a writer. “We were convinced the casting director had played a gag on us,” says director Nicholas Stoller. “The hair, makeup, clothes—I think he had 18 belts on? Jason [Segel, the film’s star and screenwriter] asked Brand about the role, and he said he’d ‘had a cursory glance’—what a thing to say to a director and writer. Asked about improv, it was as if he’d never heard of that either. Then he started in. When he left, Jason got up and did a jig.” The part was rewritten.

Snyder's 'Sucker Punch,' came in second this week at the box office, but he had bigger news to report as the director phoned actress Amy Adams from Paris to let her know she had been chosen to play Lois Lane in his upcoming 'Superman' movie, due in theaters in December 2012.

On choosing Adams to play one of the most iconic love interests in superhero history, Snyder told the LA Times, "It goes back to what I've said about Superman and making him really understandable for today. What's important to us is making him relevant and real and making him empathetic to today's audience so that we understand the decisions he makes. That applies to Lois as well. She has to be in the same universe as him [in tone and substance]."

Adams joins a cast that includes Henry Cavill as Clark Kent/Superman, as well as Kevin Costner and Diane Lane as Kent's adoptive parents here on earth.

The hunt is still on for the film's villains, rumored to be the trio of Zod, Ursa and Non, who last battled Superman on the big screen in 'Superman II.' Actors who are rumored for those roles as of now include Edgar Ramirez and Michael Shannon.

Mariah Carey took time out from rushing to the hospital because she was having contractions to tweet about rushing to the hospital because she was having contractions. (I'm having Contractions Call 911...No wait Tweet it first hun ...Then Call 911)

All turned out to be well, with Mariah tweeting, "They almost came on 3/27- happy anniversary in deed!!! We have a few more weeks 2 go but- wow!!!: ) #soreadyallready!"

March 27 is Mariah's birthday, not her anniversary, but for reasons that defy explanation, she has taken to calling her "birthday" her "anniversary."

A staffer snitch from the popular ABC show revealed that Bachelor Brad Womack and Emily Maynard are just pretending for the cameras. According to the insider snitch, after many make ups and breakups, Emily has finally ended her relationship with Brad.

Also following their recent admittance of a break-up on The Bachelor finale, but they look to be going stronger than ever. Photos of the pair were posted by one of Brad’s pals on March 17 who wrote, “Wow! I guess you can’t trust tabloids after all.” They sure look pretty happy!

The pair were likely hanging at one of Brad’s Austin bars, perhaps the Dizzy Rooster, which seems to be his personal favorite.

The friend included four photos of the duo, probably on their last day together as Emily, 25, was later spotted arriving back at Charlotte-Douglas Airport in North Carolina on March 17 — wearing her engagement ring.

The Riverside County District Attorney's Office is once again pursuing possible assault charges against Lindsay stemming from the alleged altercation she had with a Betty Ford employee back on December 12, 2010. Lindsay (without the Lohan) was completely aware the DA had begun interviewing witnesses in her case, but she didn't seem worried at all.

Lindsay denies pushing the woman first. The staffer reportedly scolded Lohan for allegedly returning past curfew after spending the evening at a local bar, and demanded the actress take a drug/alcohol test. It was during that exchange that that the woman reportedly "put her hands" on Lohan.

The actress claims she told the woman, "Take your hands off of me" and then "pushed back," according to the report.

Lindsay had been receiving treatment at the Betty Ford Center and its facilities, about 120 miles east of Los Angeles, since late September. A judge overseeing her probation stemming from a 2007 drunk driving case has required Lohan to remain at the rehab center until Jan. 3.
